You must be kidding

I love how Jesus just cuts to the point.

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them (Matthew 18:1-2).

Just that?

The Blueprint in the genealogy of Jesus

In the previous post we looked at the gematria construct of Matthew 1:1-17 and the balance of probabilities that any heptadic narrative anywhere in the world could have been written in this way. We discovered that it is not humanly possible. In fact, we discovered that it is beyond the computing abilities of a thousand ultra-futuristic advanced supercomputers working together to achieve this. And that was just on the construct!

In this post we’ll focus more on the genealogy and the meaning of names of the ancestral human lineage of Yah’shua (Jesus). We’ll look at the prophetic meaning of these names, how history is really His-story and how Matthew 1 was cleverly constructed.

The Challenge of Resistance

Throughout history, the Gospel has faced resistance from those who cling to their own beliefs and traditions. This resistance can manifest in various forms, from outright persecution to subtle forms of opposition.

The problem has always been to encourage the bride of Christ in the face of obnoxious hostility rebelling against the Gospel.

Let's not be surprised to learn that this is by no means a modern day problem.

Celebrate Hanukkah ... or Christmas?

Many feasts from various cultures and religions are celebrated during November and December. Depending on the year, Hanukkah is celebrated towards the end of November or in December. This is followed by Christmas on December 25th. Other notable celebrations from various cultures and religions include Diwali, Saint Nicholas Day, Rohatsu (Bodhi Day), Calan Gaeaf, Posadas Navidenas, Solstice Day, Mōdraniht, Yalda, Zarathosht Diso, Holy Innocents Day, etc.

Most, if not all, of these feasts are of man-made pagan or occult origins, dedicated to elusive imaginative heathen gods. Should these feasts be celebrated at all?

The poo-free Gospel part 3 - Uncomplicated

I am a devoted student of the fundamentals and birthplace of all things, the core and bedrock construction whence everything that we know originates from. Go back to the beginning and you are likely to find out what is ticking …

We continue in this post, having left off in our previous post looking at the poo-free-Gospel. In this post we look at what the Gospel is in its purest form, the way Jesus pronounced it. We'll get to that just a little later in this post … so, read further.

Moving from poo-induced to poo-free

Rejecting the poo-message - now what? The poo-free Gospel part 2

The subject question of this post is somewhat ambiguous, but follow through to the the end if you already know the answer.

Between rejecting the corrupted, mixed-Gospel and accepting the Gift Gospel-message of unconditional love, there is a part that Paul explains so beautifully to the Galatians (and us). In this post we continue from where we left in the previous post. (see the previous post here)

You'll remember that Paul was referring to the undiluted word of Truth (2 Corinthians 2:17, James 1:21), mixed with nothing but Faith (Hebrews 4:2).

In the previous post we caught up with Paul explaining how that there is an accursed Gospel preached by trouble-makers, mixing the pure Good-News Gospel with poo (law, rules and doctrine), the latter being a toxic, deadly mixture that should be discarded immediately. We were reading what he said in The Message Translation.

In this post we look at Paul’s explanation on what to do once we’ve decided to reject the poo-induced Gospel to receive the pure Good-News-Gospel. This time we’ll read from both The Message and the KJV.

The poo-free Gospel - part 1

There is a wavering Gospel that says whatever Christ has done on the cross, is not enough - you have to be good and earn it!

It mixes poo with the good …

It modifies the Good News into something man-made.

The Good-News-Message becomes the Message of Doom.

That is why Paul reprimanded the Galatians. 

I can’t believe how you waver—how easily you have turned traitor to him who called you by the grace of Christ by embracing an alternative message! It is not a minor variation, you know; it is completely other, an alien message, a no-message, a lie about God. Those who are provoking this agitation among you are turning the Message of Christ on its head. Let me be blunt: If one of us—even if an angel from heaven!—were to preach something other than what we preached originally, let him be cursed. I said it once; I’ll say it again: If anyone, regardless of reputation or credentials, preaches something other than what you received originally, let him be cursed. Galatians 1:6-9 MSG

What does it mean to waver?

Stay poo-free!

This might come as a surprise to some, but there is not even a tiny bit of bad news in the Good News (Gospel).

The Finished Work of Jesus is the All-Good-News-once-and-for-all.

The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It only makes sense in terms of the Finished Work of Christ.

The Gospel is the exclusive Good News! It is Jesus. If you try to fit another word in there somehow, it becomes something entirely different.

Think about it.

If the news you are getting has a hint of bad news, it is not God’s News anymore and the origin should immediately be questioned. I must be discarded immediately!

Even the slightest addition of dog poo will corrupt and make the best Swiss chocolate vulgar.
